Moneses uniflora, the one flowered wintergreen (British Isles), single delight, wax flower, shy maiden, star of Bethlehem (Aleutians), St. Olaf's candlestick (Norway), wood nymph, or frog's reading lamp, is a plant of the family of Ericaceae, that is indigenous to moist coniferous forests in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere from Spain to Japan and across North America. It is the sole member of genus Moneses.

The genus Moneses originates from the Greek work moses, which translates to 'solitary,' and hesia, meaning 'delight,' referencing the single flower which blooms on the plant. The plant is also referred to as wood nymph, referencing a nature goddess figure in Greek mythology that lived in forests and resembled beautiful women. Moneses uniflora has floral features (like poricidal anthers and small apical pores) consistent with flowers that reproduce through buzz pollination. The single delight's nodding flower and anther's small apical pores allow for bees in flight to sonicate mid flight, releasing and transferring pollen between flowers. The plant grows in moist forest environments in the holartic realm and is commonly found across North America and Eurasia. The plant flourishes in coniferous forest conditions in cooler temperatures, sometimes with licorice fern and Labrador tea.

Consuming these plants cleanses his intestines and gives him the power to stop his behaviour. The Makah people also boiled Moneses uniflora with Labrador tea and licorice fern, using the entire plant to soothe coughs. The Kwakwaka'wakw people have used Moneses uniflora in poultices for swelling and pain, as it causes blisters.
